Flatten mesh

The following example demonstrates how to flatten the 3D mesh.

Read the documentation.

TypeScript

async function init(): Promise<void> {
    await google.maps.importLibrary('maps3d');

    const map = document.querySelector('gmp-map-3d')!;
    const flattener = document.querySelector('gmp-flattener')!;
    map.append(flattener);

    const toggleButton = document.getElementById(
        'toggleButton'
    ) as HTMLButtonElement;
    toggleButton.addEventListener('click', () => {
        if (flattener.isConnected) {
            flattener.remove();
            toggleButton.textContent = 'Enable Flattener';
        } else {
            map.append(flattener);
            toggleButton.textContent = 'Disable Flattener';
        }
    });
}

void init();

JavaScript

async function init() {
    await google.maps.importLibrary('maps3d');

    const map = document.querySelector('gmp-map-3d');
    const flattener = document.querySelector('gmp-flattener');
    map.append(flattener);

    const toggleButton = document.getElementById('toggleButton');
    toggleButton.addEventListener('click', () => {
        if (flattener.isConnected) {
            flattener.remove();
            toggleButton.textContent = 'Enable Flattener';
        } else {
            map.append(flattener);
            toggleButton.textContent = 'Disable Flattener';
        }
    });
}

void init();

CSS

html,
body {
    height: 100%;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
